I have just installed the PocketSCUMM engine on my Smartphone. Would like to start with a very easy game to play (easiest puzzles) in order to get a taste of the platform, and to get used to the interface on the Smartphone as well.

I would say Loom is the easiest, but it's also kind of an oddball game. I'm pretty sure when it was released it boasted about being friendly to beginners and being the first Lucas adventure that you couldn't get stuck in (assuming you write down all those drafts, of course).

I'd also say that Full Throttle is the easiest, however if a smartphone can't handle it then I'd recommend Monkey Island 1

I'd strongly disagree that Full Throttle is the easiest... It may be the shortest, but unfortunately it suffers from a LOT of annoying puzzles that aren't necessarily logical (as I discovered when I recently replayed it).

LOOM was commonly known at the time of its release as being an "easy" adventure. (Sierra even lampooned its easiness in one of their games.) Monkey Island 1 is certainly a friendly place to start, but it's not the easiest.

What? Loom is definitely the shortest.

Well i certainly wouldn say that Zak was the easiest pretty obscure that one. Embarrasingly enough it was like 10 years before i found out there was more than one playable character *shakes head and hides face*. Too many years in katmandu

I would also recommend loom, it was the first game i ever finished, and really built my confidence in my ability to figure out puzzles in adv. games. Either that or monkey island 2 purely for its ability to suck you into the storylne right away. In that sense its sorta the 'easiest' to get into
